=pod =head1 NAME SSL_state_string, SSL_state_string_long - get textual description of state of an SSL object =head1 SYNOPSIS #include const char *SSL_state_string(const SSL *ssl); const char *SSL_state_string_long(const SSL *ssl); =head1 DESCRIPTION SSL_state_string() returns a 6 letter string indicating the current state of the SSL object B. SSL_state_string_long() returns a string indicating the current state of the SSL object B. =head1 NOTES During its use, an SSL objects passes several states. The state is internally maintained. Querying the state information is not very informative before or when a connection has been established. It however can be of significant interest during the handshake. When using non-blocking sockets, the function call performing the handshake may return with SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ or SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE condition, so that SSL_state_string[_long]() may be called. For both blocking or non-blocking sockets, the details state information can be used within the info_callback function set with the SSL_set_info_callback() call. =head1 RETURN VALUES Detailed description of possible states to be included later. =head1 SEE ALSO L, L =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2001-2016 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
